1. A Study to Compare the Effectiveness of Different High-intensity Interval Training Programs in Cardiac Rehabilitation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The main purpose of the study is to examine the effect of two different high intensity interval training (HIIT) prescription approaches on improving fitness, heart function, and the ability of the body's muscles to receive oxygen. The two approaches of the same total exercise durston will include: 1) HIIT with progressively increased interval durations (PRO-HIIT) versus 2) HIIT with constant shorter interval durations (CON-HIIT). The study hypothesis is that the progressively increased interval duration at high-intensity (PRO-HIIT) will result in a greater increases in fitness, heart function, and the ability of the body's muscles to receive oxygen in patients enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation. 

2. A Study to Evaluate Aortic Dilatation in Patients with Conotruncal Abnormalities

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to assess operative and postoperative outcomes after aortic valve surgery, evaluate for changes in ascending aorta diameter by comparing pre-operative CT imaging to measurements on follow-up imaging, and examine late outcomes and functional status during the follow-up period with specific focus on mortality, need for re-operation and incidence of aortic dissection.

3. Left Atrial Appendage Exclusion for Prophylactic Stroke Reduction Trial

   Rochester, Minn.

   The objective of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of left atrial appendage exclusion (LAAE) for the prevention of ischemic stroke or systemic arterial embolism in subjects undergoing cardiac surgery who have risk factors for atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke.

4. A Study of Sexual Dysfunction in Patients with Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy Undergoing Septal Myectomy

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to determine how many patients suffer from sexual function problems and ascertain if they are improved or modified by cardiac surgical intervention.

5. Hospital Diuretic Therapy and Associated Risk of Heart Failure in Treating Fluid Volume Overload

   Rochester, Minn.

   The objective of this proposal is to assess blood-plasma volume (TBV-PV) status quantitatively in patients with DHF admitted to hospital for volume management, and to determine how effective standard diuretic therapy is in achieving euvolemia and the impact of their quantitated volume status at the time of hospital discharge on heart failure related morality and re-hospitalizations. Thus, to determine if quantitative blood volume analysis could potentially serve as an effective tool to guide more effective in-hospital diuretic therapy to achieve better outcomes in patients hospitalized with clinically identified volume overload.

6. Evaluation of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis in the Treatment of Thoracoabdominal and Pararenal Aortic Aneurysms

   Rochester, Minn.

   Prospective, non-randomized, , multicenter study with two independent arms: * Primary Study Arm - TAAA and Pararenal aneurysms requiring only TAMBE System. Hypothesis-driven analysis. * Up to 65 additional subjects may be implanted in Continued Access Phase under the Primary Study Arm only * Secondary Study Arm - TAAA requiring TAMBE System and CTAG Device(s). Non hypothesis-driven analysis. Minimum: 122 implanted subjects. Maximum: 202 implanted subjects with up to 65 additional subjects implanted in Continued Access (Primary Study arm)

7. A Repository of Atria Tissue for the Investigation of Atrial Pathophysiology in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to collect surgically removed atrial tissue for genetic, pathologic, metabolic, and molecular studies in patients with or without a history of atrial fibrillation.

8. A Study to Evaluate Perceptions of Midline Sternotomy Scar in Children and Young Adults

   Rochester, Minn.

   The purpose of this study is to evaluate how children and young adults perceive their midline sternotomy scars (in terms of appearance, associated symptoms, consciousness, satisfaction with appearance/symptoms, and impact on quality of life)? 

9. A Study to Establish a Registry for the Pulmonary Hypertension Association

   Jacksonville, Fla.

   The objectives of this study are to measure and improve quality of care (including assessing differences in adherence to evidence-based guidelines and establishing benchmarks for health outcomes); determine the clinical effectiveness, comparative effectiveness, and cost effectiveness of treatment approaches; understand risk factors for outcomes and regional/center differences; and facilitate funded clinical trials of new therapies and collaboration with the PAH community at large, including providers, patients, and their caregivers.

10. Study to Determine the Accuracy of a New Venous Air Plethysmograph in People with Normal, Incompetent, and Obstructed Venous Hemodynamics.

    Rochester, Minn.

    The purpose of this study is to determine the accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value) of a new venous air plethysmograph in people with normal, incompetent, and obstructed venous hemodynamics.
